funders. Holywell Trust’s Brexit Focus Podcast returns for its
5th episode and this month Gerard, Paul and guests delve into the
ramifications Brexit presents less than one year away from the
UK’s withdrawal from the European Union. Last month the Community
Foundation for Northern Ireland hosted an event with the grantees
of their Brexit Dialogue Fund at the MAC in Belfast. Paul spoke
with Andrew McCracken, the CFNI CEO, to outline why the
organisation supported groups discussing the Brexit issue. He
also met with David Holloway from Community Dialogue whose
findings show the double impact of Brexit and the lack of a
functioning Northern Ireland Executive plus Emma Campbell and
Anna Grindall of the Children’s Law Centre who enlightens us on
how children near the border are being affected by Brexit.
Patricia McEwen, the Regional Secretary of Unison for Northern
Ireland, joins us to promote her call for trade unions to engage
in a day of mobilisation at the beginning of May. This month Les
Allemby (Chief Commissioner for Human Rights in Northern
Ireland), Bernard Ryan (Professor in Migration Law) and Simon
Barr (Immigration Lawyer) answers some of your issues and
questions on the EHIC Card, the rights of Irish people in the UK
post-Brexit and how the Home Office is currently treating
individuals who were born in other European Countries. Never miss
